8. There is really no reason not to

with all the technology available these days.

He can have a phone and fax in his cell, high speed internet. Just like tele-commuting. Think of the cost savings - he can just use a trustee as his secretary.

4. People, what the fuck is going on? This is absurd!

Now moral values mean coddling criminals? ARE THESE REPUBLICANS ALL CORRUPT TO THE CORE? My God, I hate to say this, but I no longer love being an American if this is what being an American encompasses...

6. Don;t say all Republicans BLAST the RADICAL RIGHT Wing Nuts .

Blast the NeoCons Blast the Radicals they are the enemy

[sui generis]

9. oh yeah? well, write your congressman now

and again next week and go visit him and tell him what you think too. Write the paper. Visit your senator. Write your senator. Put together a petition.

that's what democracy is about. If we just sit back and nurse our outrage we're not doing a whole lot to thwart this kind of evil, and it will always exist.

[Demit]

5. that is an outrage. moral values indeed.

7. i like the way they

made the rule for dan rostenkowski(D), but now when its one of THEIR people (r) they want to do away with the rule! not only is this hippocritical, its immoral!

10. I'll bet they will switch it back when a Dem gets in that predicament.

11. Yep. That's how they do it.

They change the laws to avoid being penalized the same as everybody else. Because, heaven forbid that there is ever evidence showing that white people have a criminal gene inside them.

12. It's a GOP leadership rule

not a Senate leadership rule, right? At leats, that's how I read it. Or did I misunderstand?
